Just to play devils advocate..

 

I previously played Modus 120, thought I loved it, and in my mind there was nothing better. I took some shots of my swing with it, and found that it was flexing in a suboptimal way as it was releasing too early (Picture #1).

 

I went to the PGA superstore and used the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer (for 7 iron), and I picked the KBS $-taper from the top choices (Picture #2). Now if you look at my swing, at the same point of the downswing, it seems to be flexed in a more optimal position.

 

As an aside, I play the z785's and they are fantastic. I had a stint with the 919 forged, and hands down, z785 feel better, but to each their own.

Were you able to just “try” the mizuno shaft optimizer, or did you go for a fitting? I’ve always wanted to do it, but nobody has ever been around to help me with it. 

Edwin Watts is the place to go for me. I've hit the optimizer in a few different places and got very similar results from it. Then I hit several of the shafts in the top ten with the same head on the GC hawk.  I was recommended  modus 105x as #1, but ended up liking the modus 120s the best. I still haven't decided to upgrade from the jpx800 pros, but now I've got to throw in the i210 head based on feedback on here. I've hit the 585's but not 785's and the 585's were fine but not special to me (indoors). The 921 HM PRO is my lean right now.

Just got the 785’s with 125 MMT’s....they can basically stop making golf clubs and just go with this 

Just got a set with the 105 MMTs and love the feel, been playing a set with the Fuji pro 95s for the past 2 seasons and they were great!  Just get a little more height and feel with the MMTS!!

I have demo'd the 921 forged and currently play the Z585's but compared the 785's for a possible combo set. The Mizunos spun a bit more and did not generate as much ball speed. Therefore, I lost more distance than I wanted to. The dispersion variance was not enough to move me off the srixons. I decided against the combo set for now, but I did love the feel of the 785s.

What about JPX 919 Tour vs Z785? I currently play the 919 tour and love the thin top line / blade like feel. Is this club way way closer to the launch characteristics of the 919 forged?

 

i know its months later, but the 785 is much closer to the forged than the tour.
